@JosephWright: Say, do users get a notification when someone suggest an edit to their answers?
@MatthewLeingang: I'm almost at 7777 now (7770). It's a pity that I can't reach it without downvoting something! (which I wont do). I will wait for 8888 then :-)
I feel like Clark Kent when he gave up his super-powers. I'm only now realising all the things that I miss - as well as my mod-link, as I'm not yet at 10k I don't get the tools link either, *sob*
*throws some jam at Martin*: There you go, I've set the sticky bit.
@JosephWright I'm just asking because of the current suggested edit. Should that be better passed on to the original author as a comment so that he can decide by himself what to do?
@MatthewLeingang It is actually easy if you now the internals of graphics a little. I was studying it and graphicx a few week ago for my adjustbox package.
Hi. building a debian package for pgf for 2.10 is actually quite easy. there are questions about pgf 2.10 installation on this site. should i add an answer to one of those?
and if so, which one?
the debian maintainer might upload his own package soon, dunno
Simpleminded question. i'm trying to use tikzexternal.sty. if i do \usepackage{tikzexternal} it works, but if i just include it bombs. am i missing something obvious?
The comment at the top says: % This file is intended to be distributed or even inlined into a file % when a document needs to be typeset on a system that does not have % pgf/TikZ installed.
@FaheemMitha No, it's fine to ask. I wonder about the idea of including this particular file, when Tikz is lots of files anyway - not sure of the benefit
@FaheemMitha Probably one for the main tex.sx site, with a link to your full log file
@FaheemMitha: Could you not just make PDFs out of your tikzpictures by yourself and include them as images? The standalone class can help you with this task. Then the journal doesn't need TikZ to compile the document.
@Martin @ Joseph @all At meta there was some talk for some coding competitions, I am thinking that I got more rep than I deserve, what would you guys think of me posting some difficult questions with heavy bounties as competitions?
I've been thinking about this for some time, and Will Robertson seems to have a similar idea to get stuff done by others, rewarding them with reputation.
So, in short: part with your hard-earned reputation to organize a mini-contest with a bounty prize on a topic/package you are interested in --...
@YiannisLazarides: This one didn't get all that much support, but that's probably I originally had a different idea in mind.. but I can try to reformulate it a bit to conform better to current SE policy
